The South African Astronomical Observatory is running a competition to name a recently discovered asteroid; the name is being selected by public vote from a short list of names, one of which is Ubuntu. I think it would be cool to have an asteroid named after a Linux distro, especially appropriate when its founder is an astronaut, so go vote online.

And the original meaning has little to do with a barren lump of rock millions of miles from the nearest human being... which brings us back to the asteroid being brown as the most compelling argument for this
